43rd Annual Cowichan Valley Fine Art Show
I had the honour of spending Wednesday in the company of two wonderful artists - Alan Burgess and Tony Bounsall, as jurors selecting "The Best of the Best" at the 43rd Annual Cowichan Valley Fine Art Show. These select pieces will form a smaller, juried, travelling show that will hang in three area venues this summer. I was very impressed with the quality of the non-juried show, which was already mounted when we arrived, and the enthusiasm, skill and dedication of the Cowichan Valley Arts Council (CVAC) and volunteers. Wow! What a great organization.
The show, at Island Savings Centre in Duncan, opened last night, and runs until 3:00pm on Sunday. With approximately one hundred original, never shown before pieces encompassing painting, collage,assemblage,textile, etching, photography, jewelry, sculpture, glass work, wood - the chair by Joseph Gelinas & Sandra Carr is outstanding! (as are so many other pieces I can't even mention them all)...and more - it's well worth a visit. More details on the CVAC website.
As an added bonus to my day, which was already a rich and rewarding experience, I was delighted to discover, hanging on the wall in the show, this delightful piece by the fabulous young artist Courtenay Quist. Courtenay is currently studying printmaking at VIU. "Depths" is a mezzotint etching, and I must say, it simply ticked all the boxes for me, and I was thrilled to purchase it later that evening. It's well crafted, with great composition, beautiful use of light and shadow, texture and rhythm, excellent use of the medium, and a great sense of humour. I love it! Thanks Courtenay. I look forward bringing this little gem home with me on Sunday, and to seeing your work in the future.
